Do some research beofe getting one, they need the right temps, enclosures, food etc but Bearded Dragons are supposed to be the easiest ones to keep for the novice keeper. Expect to pay around £75 as a rough price, but less for babies and more for fully grown adults.
4 foot vivariums with lamps, heat mats, uvs and substrates go for around £160 on ebay, im looking out for one at the moment cos the 2 foot one he came with one last that long!
I;'ll get some vids up toorrow, hes asleep at the moment lol

bearded dragons should not be housed together
they will fight and there is a good chance they wont stop until one of them is dead

Males yes, once they reach maturity they will fight until one becomes the dominant - and then either one will be very stressed or eventually die due to fighting.
2 females isnt too bad, they'll fight but usually not to the levels of males - its all about correct vivarium set up.

yep females are not as bad as males some will put up with another dragon
i have seen a few females with missing tails from being housed together
changes in the viv can help 2 basking spots 6ft instead of 4ft ect but its still not ideal
